Dr. Kamran has taught at Queens College/CUNY, Hofstra University, Dowling College, and currently teaches international relations at St. Joseph’s College. She has developed a series of in-depth country studies programs for public libraries entitled Places in the News. These programs give an opportunity to comprehend what is going on today’s headline news and provides an opportunity for patrons in our community to take part in thoughtful conversations. Dr. Kamran will discuss how she runs this series as well as, new projects she has in development for Eastern Suffolk BOCES on cultural competency and understanding our various immigrant communities on Long Island.

NAC Presents: Embedded Librarianship
Monday, September 17th 10:00 a.m., SCLS
Embedded Librarianship is one of the most valuable tools to working with any community, and this is especially true when working with a younger demographic. The New Adult Committee will review how to work with stakeholders in your building to fashion relationships with New Adults. We will also discuss where and how to embed yourselves with this demographic outside of the library walls.
Coffee/tea will be at 9:30 a.m. and the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m.
